WARSAW, POLAND (AP) – Poland and Sweden co-hosted an international donors’ conference yesterday in Warsaw to raise funds for humanitarian efforts to help war-torn Ukraine, where thousands have been killed, cities devastated and millions of people displaced by Russia’s attack.
Poland’s government said that Ukraine’s needs are huge – despite funds already donated – due to the large scale of damage from the war, and that millions of Ukrainians require urgent help.
The High-Level International Donors’ Conference for Ukraine was jointly organised by the Polish and Swedish prime ministers in collaboration with the European Commission and European Council presidents.
The aims include allowing the international community to announce new pledges to meet the immediate humanitarian needs of Ukrainian society and to create a forum to discuss how to support Ukrainian society over the longer term.
The co-hosts were prime ministers Mateusz Morawiecki of Poland and Magdalena Andersson of Sweden.
